Systems and methods for communication between wheelchairs and vehicles

A system comprising:

• a vehicle comprising:
• a passenger compartment having a plurality of rear passenger seats and a floor, the floor includes a floor surface, each seat of the plurality of rear passenger seats moves along the floor surface, and
• a central processing unit,
• wherein:
• each seat of the plurality of rear passenger seats are communicatively coupled to the central processing unit, and
• the central processing unit is configured to actuate at least one actuator to direct a movement of at least one seat of the plurality of rear passenger seats along the floor surface to a predetermined location within the passenger compartment such that a transportation space is provided for a wheelchair based on a biometric identification of a user of the wheelchair transmitted to the central processing unit by the wheelchair.

A method of communicating between a vehicle and a wheelchair, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a central processing unit, an input from a user, the input corresponding to a request for transportation;
• receiving, by the central processing unit, a biometric identification of a user of the wheelchair transmitted from the wheelchair, the biometric identification of a user of the wheelchair is at least one data from the group of a user weight, a user height, and a user disability;
• determining, by the central processing unit, an optimal seat configuration of a plurality of rear passenger seats within the vehicle;
• and
• moving, by at least one actuator, at least one seat of the plurality of rear passenger seats into the optimal seat configuration based on the biometric identification of the user of the wheelchair.
